Gardening Woes

It's been about 3 wks since the last time that I updated my blog site. I guess that I should catch everybody up on what's been going on with the McKay's.
We've been trying to plant and grow some things out of pots, but not having all that great of a success. We've grown flowers which took over 2 months to bloom, a lop-sided tomato plant, mini strawberries. We had a really good garden last year and had quite a bit to eat out of it. I guess that's what we get for moving into the city and out of the country.

So here's my panzies. I have never had any luck growing them
before, but wouldn't you know it, they actually grew this year.


Our poor pathetic tomatoe plant. We only got 6 tomatoes from this guy.
We've eaten one already and it was yummy!! The poor plant grew in sideways.


Here's some flowers that I have no idea as to what they are. They took nearly 2 1/2
months to grow. Their leaves even started to turn brown. The other pot behind it
never has sprouted any flowers. It's just weird.



A pic of my rose bush. It was so beautiful back in June all full of blossoms.
I'm glad to see that it's starting to bud again though.




Last, but not least my strawberries. They were here before we ever moved in.
Not entirely sure if they are a cross-breed, but all of the strawberries are just
mini. They don't ever grow very big.
It's definately a frustrating process!!!

4th Of July Celebration

So on the 4th we of course spent the evening with Brian's parents. Here's Kairi after throwing pop-its. Last year she was too afraid and we stayed indoors together.




Here's another of Trista and Kairi throwing their pop-its with the help of Uncle Brian off to the side.

Here's Trista throwing her pop-its. Poor thing had a rough night. She stepped on the ashes of a sparkler and burnt the bottom of her foot.

Here's the girls coming to reload for some more pop-its. They had such a great time!!! Especially Kairi, although towards the end, both of them were so tired and ready for bed.

On the 4th we also went out to the celebration in Melba. It was definately smaller this year, so that was a bummer. We did ride the spinner, which was fun but defiantely dizzying!! It was hot outside, but we had fun anyways.

Family Reunion

Last weekend we had the McIntyre Family Reunion, and we all had a great time.
(This is Tiana, and she's a family friend) We just love her to death!!



This is Makel showing off her fashion sense!! She looks absolutely fab.




Each family member came by way of their own transportation.

After dinner we went to the Caldwell Pool for Family Swim night.

Here's Anja showing off her swimming skills.

Here's Gracie, and Kailey!! Gracie was trying to be a big girl and swim

by herself in her new life suit.
